east of gary - darrell scott lyrics

Loading...

i grew up on the indiana side of chicago
with the rusty steel mills belching in the westward wind
i watched mom and dad trying to clean their sorrow
with my brothers and me at old lake michigan

there’s a little boy
he’s got big brown eyes
he’s got swimming trunks ‘bout twice his size
looking at a steel mill sunset
skipping a stone, “hey, ain’t you a little young
to feel so alone?”

well they changed the name of my hometown
when we moved away
now it’s more than words that i don’t recognize
that kid down at the filling station
tried to keep my change from a twenty
i could see that cold -ssurance in his eyes

hey you need ten dollars for the rainy day?
save and go to college or just get away
or you could spend that money on a two-day stone
oh, there are worse things in this world than being alone
let me tell you now…

so, if you’re driving from chicago, east of gary
and you find a fallen town that has two names
there’ll be no one to possibly remember
a little lonesome brown-eyed boy who went by james

oh the mill’s shut down
but the air’s still sour
you get a hotel room
you gotta pay by the hour
oh the good old days are just good and gone
like autumn leaves on a burning lawn

i grew up on the indiana side of chicago
with the rusty steel mills belching in the westward wind
